[Bug 506960] Re: investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade
I'm marking this fix-released. Maverick images of 20100913 or later (including grub-pc of 1.98+20100804-4ubuntu6 and cloud-init of 0.5.15-0ubuntu1) will properly install new kernels, and boot into them on reboot. This functionality is also present for Maverick instances that are running on UEC hosts running maverick versions of Eucalyptus and qemu- kvm. ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Scott Moser (smoser) -- investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Marking as won't fix in ec2-init (karmic or previous).

[Bug 506960] Re: investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade
Given the above, I've done some thought on this. I think the best thing to do right now is leave this as it is. 'apt-get upgrade' actually performs reasonably well, new kernels with same ABI are installed, so any changes in modules would be picked upon next reboot. The one thing I think might be useful in the future is a updates notification that gave specific information to ec2/uec users on what to do. ** Changed in: ec2-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Wishlist -- investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 506960] Re: investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade
More discussion on this in IRC. Eric Hammond pointed out that with EBS volumes, you can actually stop the instance, modify the kernel and ramdisk attribute and boot the instance with new kerne/ramdisk. This would actually provide a usable mechanism for updating the kernel in an EBS volume. I had committed a change to remove the meta packages, but have since backed that out. -- investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 506960] Re: investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade
Just a note I realized that the reason updates are prompted for is the presense of the meta packages. If we remove them, the linux-image packages will still be present, but dont get upgraded. Ie: linux-image-2.6.32-11-virtual linux-image-2.6.32-301-ec2 will still be around. Those packages are sometimes serviced, in which case their modules would possibly contain needed fixes and *should* be updated. Basically, I think that the following fixes this issue: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-virtual linux-virtual linux-image-ec2 linux-ec2 -- investigate ec2 kernel/ramdisk and apt-upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
